Thanks for your reply. This one above is the one that I am trying to do. It is true that choosing arbitrary points evenly selected from the original points is not ideal, it is good enough for my purposes in most cases. When I have a bit more time I am going to try to implement the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm to improve the accuracy of my curve simplification: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm
Thanks Pete
